More than the Garden Route - We did the 6 day Garden Route and Addo Elephant Park tour with Earthstompers. This was a fabulous experience seeing a huge variety of sites, more than expected. It was more than a Garden Route tour and gave us a true understanding of the East and West Cape region. Our tour guide, Terri, was terrific. She was accommodating, considerate, knowledgeable and worked hard to ensure all our needs were met which afforded us the most amazing trip. The small group size was ideal for sightseeing and enabled quick getaways. The food on tour was excellent and gave us a great range of South African classics., Terri knew all the quirky cafes to make a refreshment stop. The variety of accommodation was all good, some places B & B and other places a backpacker or lodge style, the quality was more than OK. Addo Elephant Park was a highlight with us seeing the elusive Lion as well as copious amounts of other African wildlife!! There is a load of travel, in fact about 2000 km in 6 days which is quite significant, so expect to spend a lot of time in the vehicle, however, what you see in such a small-time frame is more than worth it. Personally, I think the tour would benefit with an extra night or two just to spread the KM's a little and give you some time to smell the roses in one of the fabulous towns you visit. Earthstompers are great and they do care about you and the environment.

Magical Epic Trip - The Garden route & Addo Elephant park is a breathtaking trip that delivers on all levels! The scenic drive offers a constant changing landscape, dramatic mountains, golden beaches, along with an incredible variety of wildlife!! South Africa is a magical destination that never stops surprising you, with each day bringing something new and memorable. The food throughout the trip was delicious and the accommodation exceeded all expectations. Gareth, our guide, elevated the entire experience—his confident driving and deep knowledge of the route added so much to the experience. If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure, I couldn’t recommend this trip more!

Exceeding my expectations - I had a blast and don't mind to go back. I didn't have enough of the Western Cape. Thank you greatly for a surprise 50th dinner party. The team was amazing. I was the dj for South African greatest hits and we danced the night away.

Fantastic trip! Couldn't get better. - Absolutely fantastic trip with our guide Garrett. Gives him 10/10 in review! I wish you had this in more places in the world. Incredibly comfortable to be driven from place to place without having to think of anything. Making research on everything you can see and visit in South Africa can be quite overwhelming, but then it’s incredibly pleasant to have a guide that shows you the best places. We didn’t have to think about anything during those 6 days, we were just driven here and there and told everything we needed to know about the places and more. The stops along the route were absolutely fantastic. Liked very well that we stopped frequently - about every 1.5 hours, which was perfect for dopauser, snacks, food, beverages etc. We felt very safe throughout the arrangement and the places we stayed were also absolutely amazing. Can not recommend this trip enough to people - and have already made it to more. 10/10!

Amazing Experience, Great tour along the Garden Route - Just returned from the 6 day Garden Route tour with Andrew. Superb guide, very knowledgeable, great banter along the way! The route itself is long so be prepared for a drive but well worth it with some amazing stop overs along the way. Addo is amazing, Andrew had great knowledge of the animal too which was fascinating. Can highly recommend Earthstompers Garden Route tour. Been great from start to finish. Thank you

Amazing tour, amazing tour guide! - This tour beyond exceeded all expectations I had! I didn’t really know what I was signing myself up for as I booked on very last minute but it was life changing trip for me. I had such an incredible group and the scenery and activities were superb. To top it off I must mention our brilliant tour guide Terri. She was absolutely fantastic! Her energy was contagious and she really made the tour special with her humour, spirit and all round personality.

Unfortunately disappointed - Our guide Andrew was really excellent ! He had very knowledge and good stories to tell. An absolute highlight of the whole tour . Our group was also very funny otherwise I would have liked to get out on the way. The first day was great . Unfortunately you are sitting on the bus almost all the time , has no time because everything is very tight. Once you were on the road you hardly had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The hike was a walk of 2.5 km and again 1 km.the stops for lunch was twice at gas stations where there were burgers etc unhealthy food ! It's a pity there's such delicious food here. The food included in the tour was ok ... especially hard for me as a vegetarian . On the 5th day all fellow travellers who booked only 5 days were delivered ( were legged and 8 people ) honestly I find it strange that I pay to sit in bus (even longer ) would never book this tour again ! Can be easily done alone for the price ! Almost the whole group was very dissatisfied. Big thanks to Andrew ! Without him the bus would have been empty by the third day
